U.S. veterans as instructors: Ukrainians train with wooden guns, and the secret to fighting the Russian army comes from the Taliban! On February 10, a U.S. veteran activity information website reported the story of two U.S. military veterans in Ukraine as civilian instructors and trained guerrillas. The two, a former U.S. Army corporal from South Carolina, served in the First Ranger Battalion from 2015 to 2019 and fought in the War of Afghanistan. The other, Paul, is a veteran of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division and served in Iraq three times. The two men were at the base of the "Georgian State Legion" on the outskirts of Kiev, where they began military training for Ukrainian civilians for a week. Everyone was actually trained with a wooden gun, with very little live fire. The so-called "Georgian National Legion" was commanded by former Georgian officer Mamuka Mamurashvili, mainly against Russia. In fact, it is a mercenary company that specializes in recruiting foreign mercenaries and signing a 3-year contract with the Ukrainian military. Adam and Paul believe that the secret of training Ukrainians to resist Russian attacks came from their former enemy, the Taliban. Adam said: "The Taliban's tactics against the U.S. military have worked. It's a war of attrition, so being alive is paramount. The Ukrainians used raids and hit-and-run tactics. That's what I learned from the Afghan Taliban. The Russians will have artillery support, they will have (rapid reaction forces). So when the Ukrainians ambushed or raided, they only had about 5 minutes to hit the target, wreak havoc, and then leave. "But can Ukrainians trained with wooden guns really play the guerrilla tactics of the Afghan Taliban?"
